“A mermaid found a swimming lad, Picked him up for her own, Pressed her body to his body, Laughed; and plunging down Forgot in cruel happiness That even lovers drown.”        ―    W.B. Yeats

Faerie Sight

How to see faeries:

Wearing one’s coat inside out.

Wearing a posy of primroses.

A four leaf clover crushed and put into an ointment may give one sight of the Faeries as well as placing Faerie Ointment on the eyelids.

Bending over and looking backwards through your legs.

Looking through a Fir knot hole.

Looking through a loop made with a Rowan twig may cause Faerie sight.

Looking through a hag stone. 

Meditating on a daily basis.

Averting one’s vision.

Dawn, moon, dusk, and midnight are the best times for faerie sightings.

Believe - faeries will most likely not show themselves to non-believers.

Have good intention - faeries can sense it.

Looking for a long time without blinking.

In Aztec mythology, Coatlicue (”she with serpent skirts”) is the mother of the 400 stars in the sky, and one daughter, Coyolxauhqui (”she with bells on her cheeks”). When Coatlicue becomes pregnant illegitimately (by touching a tuft of hummingbird feathers - this sort of stuff happens a lot in Mesoamercan mythos), her children become both embarrassed and enraged. But none more so than her daughter, Coyolxauhqui. Together with her 400 brothers, she launches an attack on her mother, but it is foiled when her mother’s unborn son Huitzilopochtli (”the hummingbird on the left”) springs forth from her womb, armed for battle.

Huitzilopochtli dismembers Coyolxauhqui, and flings her head into the sky where it becomes the moon, so that her mother might look upon her always.
